May be the following design might be good for many purposes without modifying the behaviour of stored articles. Add a "Headline" field to the ticket. Default value will be the subject of the ticket opening article. The headline will be displayed in every ticket list and can be modified by the Agent any time. Greetings Matthias

OTRS to ignore certain emails
by Rogers, Weston 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Hey guys.. Is there a way for OTRS to ignore certain emails? I would want to filter via senders address, such as bob(a)domain.com - all these get ignored by OTRS. The account that I want OTRS to monitor also has other stuff sent to it that doesn't need a ticket/etc but is important and needs to be kept (preferably on the server - but it really doesn't matter as long as its accessible) Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying to get away from just creating queues for all the un-needed stuff. Thanks!

RE: [otrs] CC'ing Customer Notifies

Try using this php file. Place it on your web server (make sure php is working). It will show you all open tickets currently in the system. (this php was put together by Mike Seigafuse [mseigafuse(a)fcg.com] and posted on the developers mailing list a bit ago). Hope this helps. ********************************* Jake Covert Infrastructure Analyst Electronic Data Systems PSIC Support Group (586) 986-9698 Work (586) 518-3859 Pager http://www.eds.com ********************************* -----Original Message----- From: niblettda(a)gru.com [mailto:niblettda@gru.com] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 3:56 PM To: otrs(a)otrs.org Subject: [otrs] CC'ing Customer Notifies I'm fairly new to OTRS and still learning everything. Right now I have one item that I'm stuck on that I can't seem to find the right way to go about fixing this. Here is my layout: I have X people sitting on a Help Desk. They are 24x7 and migrate in and out through the day. I have Y Admins that support questions from the X people on the Help Desk. Right now the Y Admins are using OTRS to manage problems coming in from the Help Desk. My issue is that if Help Desk person A opens a ticket about not being able to Email otrs.org, Help Desk person B doesn't know anything about this, and they may open a second ticket for the same thing. Likewise if I fix Help Desk person A's issue, then B never knows that it got fixed. I might not be thinking about this correctly, but in this case it seems to me that I want all Notices, Owner changes, etc to be Emailed to a mailing list. I can see how to do this for New tickets and some other items, but I don't see how to send say "New Owner Notices" to a Mailing list. I found the "xxxxxxxCcxxxxx" items in the Default.pm, but not all things support this it seems. As I said, it's entirely possible that this may be a human problem where we need to change the procedure. Some other items I've thought about is if there is a way for the Help Desk and Admins to view all open tickets. I've also thought about writing a web front end that will get all the open tickets from the DB and display them, but it seems to me this should be a fairly common problem so I'm betting that others have already solved it.

No "end of line" since upgrade to 1.1.3
by Frederik Questier 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

Hi, since I upgraded OTRS from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3, all messages are displayed without any line breaks. The same messages that were in the system before, both those that came in, as those we sended. I tested this in Mozilla 1.4 and Konqueror. I see that the messages are defined as <div class="message"> and in the style section that is defined as: .message { color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:monospace, fixed; } In the source the messages are written with line breaks, but without any <BR>, <PRE> or so. What could be wrong? And where should I apply fix? Thanx -- Free University - Free Software ! Vrije Universiteit - Vrije Software !

changing subject and other ticket values
by Wouter Mignon 13 Oct '03

Is it possible to change the ticket subject and other values from within the otrs agent interface? This would be handy because sometimes 'customers' don't describe their problem well.

RE: [otrs] Queueview - exclude AUTO tickets

I think it's getting there. Do I need to add a state 'pending auto', as it does not appear in the lists on the web interface?

That's the intended behaviour, only 'new' and 'open' tickets are shown now. From Defaults.pm: # PendingAutoStateType # (used for pending states which changed state after reached pending time # see http://yourhost/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminState -> StateType) $Self->{PendingAutoStateType} = ['pending auto']; A setting of: $Self->{ViewableStateType} = ['new', 'open', 'pending auto']; Should show new, open and 'returning' tickets. hth Robert Kehl _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support oder Consulting für Ihr OTRS System? => http://www.otrs.de/ --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
